ASSESSMENT OF NOVEL COATINGS IN COMPARISON TO CONVENTIONAL ZINC-RICH COATING FOR BRIDGE APPLICATION

ASSESSMENT OF NOVEL COATINGS IN COMPARISON TO CONVENTIONAL ZINC-RICH COATING FOR BRIDGE APPLICATION
Available for download

Coatings are widely used to mitigate corrosion of structural steel in aggressive humid environments. Zinc-rich primer three-coat paint systems are widely used to mitigate corrosion of steel bridges. However, the associated costs of its required maintenance are high. As part of a research program, chemically bonded phosphate ceramics (CBPC), thermal diffusion galvanizing (TDG) and metallizing coatings along with the current 3-coat systems were exposed in outdoor conditions for up to 2 years and in salt-fog exposure for up to 14,600 hours.

Testing included visual photo-documentation, coating thickness, coating pull-off strengths, and optical microscopy. Generally, the coatings provided corrosion mitigation of the steel but some limitations including possible surface staining, iron consumption, and coating degradation should be further addressed. Moisture presence was observed to be important in the degradation of all of the coating systems.

(Coating Formulation) Efficacy of Zinc Content in Sacrificial Protection of Coatings

Product Number: 44-COAT_DEC21
Author: Nicole Rakers / Mary Lyn Lim / Michael McCarthy / James Begley
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

Zinc rich coatings have long been used in the protective coatings industry as one of the primary means of steel substrate protection against corrosion. The primary protection mechanism has historically been galvanic sacrificial loss of zinc metal and the simultaneous formation of protective zinc oxides and salts. Various standards and customer specifications exist to ensure that the coating will provide the necessary corrosion protection for the life of the asset.

Activated Zinc Technology; Making Zinc-Rich Epoxies Work Better for the Applicator and the Owner

Inorganic zinc-rich coatings (IOZ’s) are often considered the gold standard for corrosion protection in atmospheric environments. Frequently, zinc epoxy coatings are considered second best among the most effective coatings for corrosion protection. However, current zinc-rich coating technology is not exempt of limitations, such as poor mechanical properties of the film, rigid environmental application conditions, or the inefficient use of zinc particles for providing galvanic protection. Due to these limitations, a number of asset owners have made the decision not to use zinc-rich coatings to maintain coating systems in marine and offshore environments
